The farmers are not the only persons in Kansas who are worrying about traffic and crop illations this fall. The railroad officials in Topeka want it known that they have worries, too, worries over the preparation of the equipment for the immense grain movement which is sure to come. Possibility that equipment and terminal facilities will not be in condition adequately to meet the demands of fall traffic is causing concern among all Western railroad officials, not only in Topeka but at other headquarters. Roads of the middle West, particularly those operating through this state, Nebraska and Oklahoma, are making preparations for the greatest grain movement they have ever had. Estimates made by traffic officials of several roads are that the wheat movement alone in the above three states will call for over 300,000 x-ars.

Facing the prospect of this tremendous traffic movement they havo under active way plans to concentrate every available car by tho time grain commences to. move. It is estimated that the first grain The A.T.&S.F.Ry.Co. To Qi Stata this summer excursions You will find the weather cool and pleasant, especially up in the Sierras and near the Pacific beaches.

The woman handed her friend a $3 bill.

"See the number of small fives engraved on it?" she asked. "When I was in Denmark a few years ago such a bill as that caused me a great deal of amusement, and I had to surrender one before I could prove myself clear of a false belief regarding my finances. An aunt whom I was visiting saw in my purse one day a number of these bills, and she asked to examine one, as it was so different from any of the Danish money. She studied it attentively a few minutes, and then asked me how much it was. I told her it was $5, and, to my surprise, I saw she did not believe me.

'If it is only that amount, she said, 'why has it so many litle figures on I tried to explain, but I made little impression on her. Later I heard she had told our relatives that I was 'worth thousands and thousands of dollars' and was trying to conceal the fact from the family lest they should expect some things of me that they would not otherwise. When I heard that I was visiting in another part of the country and could not very well defend myself, so I hit on the expedient of sending my aunt a present of a $5 bill. When she went to have it changed into the money of the country she was at last convinced, though at the price of having her dream of wealth rudely shattered." QUEER CASE OF SMUGGLING Stolen Partridge Eggs Brought Into Vienna by Means of a Dummy Baby. A singular case of smuggling by means of a dummy baby was brought to light by the city customs officials at the Northwestern station recently.

Partridge eggs have lor long past been extensively stolen from preserved estates in Hungary, smuggled into Vienna and sold to poultry dealers, who hatched the egs in incubators, brought up the birds by hand, and sold them below the prices asked by more honest dealers. A special lookout for smugglers has resulted in the arrest of two peasant 'women. Arriving in Vienna in the national Slavonian costume, each of them carried a baby, tied according to the invariable national custom, to a cushion, and so closely "packed" that only the lace was visible. The women were noticed to be a little agitated as they passed the customs, and they were followed home. It was then discovered that while one baby was a living child, the other was a tammy.

It consisted of a wax head, partly hidden by a shawl and a cap, while the cushion was filled with more than 600 parti idge eggs. Vienna Correspondence London Daily Mail. Regulus a Roman Hero. Regulus is counted as one of the great heroes of the old Roman empire. He was in command of an army that made an unsuccessful attempt to capture Carthage in Africa.

The Carthaginians killed many of the Romans and took the rest prisoners. Among the captives was Regulus, the commander. Now it happened that the Romans held several Carthaginians in captivity as well, so the leaders fn Carthage offered to give Regulus his freedom if Rome would free their generals. The Romans were willing, but Regulus, the one for whom the trade was being made, counseled otherwise. He advised his people to hold fast to the Carthaginians and let Carthage do its worst to him.

because the Carthaginian captives Rome held, Regulus said, were worth more than he was. He died a brave man's death. Cat Fond of Eggs. The owner of a clever cat writes to Our Dumb Animals that the pet, "a great, fat, lazy, good natured fellow," has a fondness for eggs. Sir Tom was detected in the kitchen recently on a table watching an unopened bag of eggs.

"Stepping back noiselessly," writes the owner, "we saw him cautiously tear the bag with his teeth and claws, stopping every little bit to listen. Finally the opening was large enough for him to get out an egg by gentle little pats. He held the egg in his mouth, jumped to the floor, rolled his prize about gently until he got it into position, and then bumped it against the table leg until it broke. Then he enjoyed his feast." The writer wonders where Tom got the taste, as he is and "his ancestors for generations back were city bred." Nature's Wise Provisions. Many Scandinavians have a decidedly different anatomical construction from less hyperborean people.

In these hardy northmen the layer of fat under the skin, panniculus adipo-sus, is somewhat seal-like and blub-bery, something like in those cold sea animals, the whale, seal and walrus. Also the blood vessels in this fat are somewhat overdeveloped as in sea mammals. All this comes about from exposure to the severities of disease and climate. It is no unusual thing for Norwegians nad Swedes to stay in icy cold water for hours hunting sea weed without suffering sickness or discomfort. The Upper Class.

Does any one here know any one who was in a fatal automobile accident?" she asked suddenly, glancing about the hall. "I do," from a woman in the audience. "The wheels of the automobile went over her chest," went on the medium graphically, "broke her ribs, caused oppression in her breathing.

Anyway, I set- her dying in an automobile accident!" "Yes yes!" cried the woman eagerly, "that's Mrs. Autoway! I knew it! She was in an automobile accident!

FOOD movement in Kansas alone will call into requisition about 45,000 cars. To meet the general traffic demand in prospects railroads are working car repair shops at. different points day and night.

Extra hours have been added to the Santa Fe freight car shops schedules in Topeka. Inquiries made have elicited assurances that there will be adequate motive power to handle the necessary number of trains. The Rock Island alone has ordered about fifty new engines to be delivered to its Kansas division in a few days: the Santa Fe will a number of new locomotives to put into service, and has practically rearranged its schedule so as to have the maximum of motive power available; Missouri Pacific will also put most of its new equipment recently offered into service when the grain movement begins. Despite preparations under way, the general belief obtains among traffic officials that it will not be possible for the roads to more than keep up with the volume of traffic. Keeping this before themselves they are providing extra elevators and other storage facilities at all feasible points.

A large number of new grain elevators were completed recently in Kansas, and now, at principal forwarding points in the grain belt, elevator men have contracted for warehouse space to stor sacked grain. MiAMES ENGINEER FOR WRECK Corning, X. Disaster Caused by Disregard of Several Signals. Scranton, July 9. The Lackawanna Railroad Company has begun an official 1 investigation into the railroad disaster near Corning, N.

July 4, when two score persons were killed and a half hundred injured. General Superintendent Rine said that the testimony corroborated in every detail the findings the company's officials made in their investigation at the scene of the wreck. It was shown, it is stated, that Flagman Lane went back half a mile with a flag and lighted a green fuse and that Engineer Schoeder ran past at least two semaphore signals that were set against him. Flagman Lane, however, it is stated, admits that he did not set a torpedo. It was brought out that the mist was not heavy enough to obscure an engineer's view of the semaphores or the green fuse.
